Cowboys Experimenting With Holland At Fullback

After nearly a season of struggling to capitalize on opportunities from the opponent’s one yard line, the Dallas Cowboys are exploring, uh, unorthodox solutions to their all too familiar problem. The team has begun using backup guard Montrae Holland at fullback in such situations, with what interim head coach Jason Garrett describes as “moderate success.”

Of course, that’s debatable. The Cowboys have installed Holland as the fullback twice this season on plays from the opponent’s one yard line, and have failed to score a touchdown each time. All the same, Garrett seems to believe in the experiment.
